TO AIIL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it'known that I, GEORGE JONES, of Saugertes, in the county of Ulster', and State of New York, have invented anew Improvement in Tea and Coffee-Pots; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing' and the letters 'of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification, and represents a vertical central section.

This invention relates to an improvement in the pot patented by Thomas Bishop, of Plaiuville, Connecticut, November I, 1859, and. of which patent I am sole owner; and the invention consists, first, in tho peculiar' arrangement of a valve in the spout of the pot to avoid the use of a detachable cap, and second, in the construction of the condenser, whereby the Huid condensed passes directly back into the pot.

To enable others to construct and use my improvement, I will proceed to describe the same as illustrated inthe accompanying)r drawing. r i i A is the body of the pot, B the handle, and C the spout; D the cover, and E the condenser; all formed substantially as in the original patent. The condenser is formed by a plate, a, extendirig'olound the pot upon the inside near the top, and having a hole in the centre, around which is turned up a flange, d, so as to form a space, E, entirely around the pot. Within the flange (Z is set a cylinder, F, perforated at the bottom. Upon the spouttside of the chamber E a tube passage or spacc,f, is formed, opening from above the plate a to the pot below, but so that thelangc ot' the cover will set down into the condenseiyvleaving the tube f between the flange of the lid and the side of the pot. Inthe spout at theproper point I Iix ahaetallic ball valve, 7i, arranged so that when the pot stands upright the ball will close theopeuing, und yet so that when the pot is tipped,ras for the purpose of pouring, the valve will open and perni-it the` fluid to ilowm freely through the spout; thus the spout is automatically` closed or opened as required, and the cap in common use is dispensed with.

' The use of this pot is as follows: Place the tea or coffee in the cylinder F, and pour therethrough the requisite quantity of water, hot or cold, as the case; may be. Fill thc space E with cold water, say up to the red line, and when the water. below is heated the steain passes .up through the cylinder F to the cold water, whereV it is condensed, and when Aby condensation the chamber E shall be filled, the iluid willflow throughithe spacef back into the pot; or, after the tet:l or coffee is prepared, andthe pot is tipped to pour therefrom, the water in the space E having received and condensed all the steam, ows over and through the space f into the vossoi, thus preserving entirely all the aroma that would otherwise pass off in steam. 4

y Having thus fully described my invention, I do not broadly claim the area or condensing space E, as such is secured to me in the patent before referred to; I do not broadly claim the ball valve; but what I do claim as'new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'-A 1. In combination with the space E, formed, constructed, and arranged substantiallyA as specified, the tube spaceor passagcf, substantially as and for the purpose specied.

2. I n combination with the body A, constructed with a'space E, cylinder F, and spout C, I claim the ball valve H, the whole arrangedih the manner substantially as herein set forth.

GEORGE JONES.
